Build the Manildra Flour Silos at Gunnedah

Flour delivery silos are an integral part of the Manildra operation in Gunnedah. The Manildra Group operates a multi-faceted business receiving grain, milling grain into products such as flour and delivering products by rail and road throughout the country. Grain for the milling operation is delivered in railway wagons and road trucks. At harvest, from October onwards, local farmers supply the mill with a range of wheat varieties, including soft wheats, prime hard wheats and durum. Australia grows high quality white wheat varieties. The soft varieties) are the grains used for breads and cakes. Other wheat varieties with higher protein content are used for speciality doughs. Prime hard wheats are used in biscuit making. Durum wheat () is the pasta wheat. Australia is a major world supplier of pasta wheat, a considerable amount of which is grown on the black self-mulching clay soils of the Gunnedah region.
